idetrorce, king of blog comment spam?

Posted December 15th, 2007, in: New Media| Web 2.0

Got a comment from idetrorce on my post about robot blogs:

“very interesting, but I don’t agree with you
Idetrorce”

I guess this bot really gets around. There’s no site being linked to. Just the strange name Idetrorce being dropped. Is this like internet Tag-Graffiti?

There’s even a digg story about this bot!

EDIT:

The main reason I posted this here is because I want to contribute to making information easy to find. As far as I know, there’s no reliable centralized spam database or repository of spam email addresses, spammer I.P. addresses etc, so I post these things here to make it easy for the next guy (or gal) to verify that a comment or email is indeed a bad apple.

This is also one of the main reasons I have been making those Scam Email Mashups, whenever I win the spam lottery and get one of those damn things.

Thanks for the post. I received the exact same comment. I saw this post and marked it as spam immediately. Thanks.

Very interesting, but I don’t agree with you … sorry, couldn’t help it.

I have a photo blog, and a software development blog; both got hit by Idetrorce the Spammer. One from an IP address that resolves to Australia, another to Amsterdam. I’ve marked both of them as spam through Akismet, but … honestly, there was nothing in either post to agree or disagree with.
